Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
Description
This Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread starts with a careful mix of dry ingredients including flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt, combined separately from wet ingredients like eggs, sugars, canned pumpkin, and avocado oil. Folding the dry into the wet, followed by chocolate chips, produces a soft batter that bakes into a moist bread with a slightly spiced aroma and soft crumb.
The baking process ensures a golden crust and a tender interior studded with melted chocolate chips, creating a textural contrast. The pumpkin adds moisture and a subtle earthiness, accented by the pie spice’s warmth.
The bread pairs well with coffee or tea and makes a comforting breakfast or snack. It can be stored airtight at room temperature for a couple of days or refrigerated for up to a week. The recipe notes include options to freeze the bread wrapped tightly for three months and suggestions for ingredient substitutions, though some may affect moisture and texture.

- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

- 2 egg room temperature, large
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
